Smart UV Protection for Every Rung
ShadeStep makes smart ladder attachments that track real-time UV exposure based on ladder height and sun angle, alerting construction and landscaping workers exactly when to reapply sunscreen or take shade breaks. Preventing skin cancer for 10 million outdoor workers who spend their days on ladders under direct sun.
A roofer climbs 20 feet up a ladder and their wrist vibrates—the ShadeStep sensor calculated that at this elevation and sun angle, they're getting 47% more UV exposure than ground level and need sunscreen NOW. They look down and see the ladder's integrated LED indicator glowing red, showing exactly how many minutes until they need a break.
